This is mainly a quick picture post. I wanted to share with all of you my Christmas tree that I just finished decorating and my first 2 cakes that I decorated in my cake decorating class. I am greatly proud of both.
The Tree
The tree is what I call “a memory tree”. Most of the ornaments symbolize moments in my life including gradutations, states I’ve lived in, vacations I have taken, BYU and my mission. I also have photos of my family in black and white with silver frames- fitting with the silver and blue theme to the tree ( I had pops of other colors). I wanted it to look professional yet personal at the same time. I love it!!! I set it up early this year because my sister Megan is coming into town next week and I wanted her to enjoy it. Plus, I am going to be gone for a lot of December including for Christmas. This way I at least get to appreciate it for a while.
The Cakes
The cake decorating class has been going well. I have one week left after Thanksgiving and then will be on to class II. Unfortunately I don’t think I will be able to take the 2nd class until February. I am going to be gone too much in December and January. I will have to keep practicing over the holidays. (The funny thing is that I am not that much of a cake eater.)
The first cake says just that Rachel’s First Cake. It uses star borders and my first rose. Not too shabby. The second one is a cupcake clown I made with a large star tip creating a figurine. Pretty cute hah!
yay!! Pretty pretty tree!!! So cute and Christmas-ey.. anna sings “it’s beginning to look a lot like christmas!”
Hurray! Someone commented on my tree. I was beginning to think you’all didn’t like it…
